It Ain't Beanbag Any More

The country's Roman Catholic Bishops expect to be jailed in the next year--assuming that their lawsuits against The Mandate fail or are in the courts for a long time.

There is a 'secession movement,' albeit small, and perhaps merely tinsel.

"Prepper" retailing is growing to the point where they can afford national advertising.

"I don’t know if we can survive another four years of this," people say.
Or, "do you think we can survive four more years of this?" Even Bill
Kristol, not prone to defeatism, speculated on what might happen "even if America can survive the next four years of Obama." ...The words aren’t coming from alarmists. They come in face-to-face
conversations, or in emails, or on the phone. They come from Washington,
from New York, from New Jersey, from Minnesota, from Alabama, from New
Orleans — from all over. Serious, ordinary people, some of whom live and
breathe politics and some of whom pay almost no attention to current
affairs, aren’t panicking or exaggerating. They are really worried about
what this man in the White House will do now. And they’re really
worried about whether America as we know it can survive.

Need a short list of reasons for the concern? Well, here it is!!

...Barack Obama and his minions play for keeps. And they are playing for a
vastly different America than the one with which we have been accustomed
for 224 years of this constitutional republic. Fight a war in Libya
without even asking for a congressional resolution? No problem. Appoint
executive officers without Senate approval, when the Senate is still in
session? Sure. Issue executive orders directly contrary to law, on
multiple occasions? Of course. Refuse to enforce duly constituted laws?
Check. Repeatedly question the very legitimacy of the Supreme Court?
Check. Refuse to honor congressional subpoenas and legitimate Freedom of
Information requests? Ignore court orders (about offshore drilling) so
flagrantly that you are found officially in contempt of court? Insult or
even abandon allies? Whisper to foreign leaders of traditionally
adversarial lands that you will have "more flexibility" after
re-election? Deliberately cover up deadly mistakes on the Mexican border
and in North Africa? Check, check, check, check, and check.

Anent those last: we don't think that The SCOAMF should rely too heavily on military support of his going-forward agenda on the domestic front--which brings me to this:

I mentioned the Bishops first for a reason. If der Fuhrer Obama attempts to imprison them, the Bishops will not resist.

But there's no guarantee that the Faithful will roll over while Obama's SS attempt to march them off.

More fantasy from Pawlak and company. Why don't you put on your big boy pants and join Dad29 in the "revolution". You know, get some guts, go down to the White House, and demand "justice"...Wolverine style. See how far you get.

Otherwise, it's all slogan and bluster. You want change? Work within the system. Support TRUE conservatives, not RINOS like Romney. Help to create a third party that espouses your values.

Well LS, a friendly wager of $10 that says the bishops, except for maybe a handful, will not go yo jail. Instead they will make a prudential judgment issued by the USCCB wrapped in language that would make St. Peter, St. James and even St Paul puke to read. You see, it's all about the tax exemption and collections. That's why you have seldom, if ever, heard contraception mentioned during the last 50 years in homilies at Mass.
